: From site visitor Martin Wsulstein:
"I have been having a difficult time finding a picture of the
Civil War Hospital River Boat "Nashville". An ancestor of mine,
Dr. Bernhardt (von) Beust, was a surgeon and in charge of this
hospital in 1864. It's home port was New Albany Indiana.
It traveled on the Mississippi picking up wounded bringing
them to New Albany and thence to a General Hospital.
If you can direct me to a site having such a photo please let
me know. Thank you."
